NVIDIA G-Sync explained (article)

On Friday NVIDIA announced G-Sync, and considering the little details available out there I wanted to write a quick follow-up on this new technology, as it really is a big announcement - a really big thing actually. NVIDIA G-SYNC is a solution that pretty much eliminates screen tearing, VSync input lag, and stutter. You need a G-SYNC module into monitors, allowing G-SYNC to synchronize the monitor to the output of the GPU.

Nice article, but i think this is not really true:

20fps doesn't mean that your panel will flicker at 20Hz. LCDs do not flicker

. Their backlit does, but not like CRTs which have physical refresh rate. And backlit is not related with screen updates at all.
Even if your video card gives 3 frames per sec, it will be slideshow, but perfect one. When new frame arrives, it will be drawn in 5ms (or 2ms, or 1ms) - according to monitor specs.
They also stated that the minimum variable refresh rate is 30. Anything below they will duplicate frames. And yep, obviously it will not flicker.

This will be great when its on IPS panels otherwise it can go f*ck off like the rest of The proprietary Nvidia crap no offence.

You'll have your Mantle teet to suck on soon.

They are saying this can be retro fitted to certain monitors.
They give a diagram and everything to hard wire it to monitors.

mmmmm i could prolly do it no bother, but do i wish to force open my monitor to solder this module to it.

My last monitors osd button broke/stuck and the monitor was a total nightmare to get into. Front bezzles are usually locked in with really weak small pieces of plastic.
I broke a few of them on the last monitor.
